Looks fantastic Spielberg is bringing a serious 80s vibe to the trailer alone some very memorable cameos from 1980s pop culture icons

Looks visually like a cross between AI & Minority Report but some of those 80s cameos are just shame its not out until 2018 but I think this is going to be the Spielberg popcorn cinematic event of this decade VFX look fantastic as well ILM & Digital Domain are the main vendors it seems the work in the trailer looks pretty incredible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znavw4akfoY

Way too much was given away again Hope it does not rely too much on the VR world sequences they look pretty weak although seeing Chuckie was fun & more DeLorean shots is always welcome. That car plays a major part in the movie so its great Silvestri is also composer as John Williams was busy doing Star Bores 8 & The Post.

New trailer & featurette combined some cool new footage of the DeLorean not sure if live action or CG or both combined but 1 shot of it skidding sideways is pretty fantastic . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWz6d1Z6bnU

I thought I was doing a cinematography/VFX story on this, but ten days ago, after my editor said the interviews had to be done by month's end, I reconfirmed that fact with the studio. Have not heard back since ...

Another Brit knocking the SyFy channel..first PaulILMFan and now you, aslan....is there something in the water over there?

That said, I agree with you. This is not a movie for me. This virtual stuff is just not where my head is now. But it is Spielberg and ILM so I will see it just for that....and hopefully I am pleasantly surprised.

Final trailer is out now way to much good stuff given away & it really looks very cartoony so as Spielberg does not usually do previews no-one from the general public will see this movie until it arrives!

I am reticent about most of Spielberg's fantasy-adventure films now. It really goes back to the first Jurassic Park. That was the last fantasy-action Spielberg film I really enjoyed. Everything in that genre post-Schindler's List has just been a miss in my opinion. It's almost like he split in two after Schindler's into "serious film Spielberg" and "popcorn Spielberg" with the popcorn one losing the seriousness it needs to elevate those films above average to the former serious films.
I enjoy the serious films more today. The Bridge of Spies is my favorite Spielberg film in years. Hopefully, one day the quantum reality serious and popcorn Spielbergs can merge and we can get another genuinely great popcorn Spielberg film again.
I'm just skeptical that Ready Player One is it.

AI that was a pretty decent effort so was War Of The Worlds & even Minority Report had a few good moments!

Last good Spielberg film I saw was Indy 4 so now he is about to start Indy 5 either later this year or early next but I think Harrison is too old now he looked past it in both TFA & BR2049 not sure how much CG they will need to de-age him with for Indy 5 perhaps Muren will need to come out of retirement & invent some new techniques

Oh those all had really great moments especially seeing them in the theater for the first time, WOTW especially when the alien tripods first start their attack. That was terrific stuff.

They just need to hire Lola and have them do their de-aging. Best techniques for de-aging I've seen yet.

Hell yeah that scene with Cruise running away from the Tripod attack & the camera tracks him as people are turned to dust all around that is the sort of Spielberg I want to turn up for Indy 5 I also love the hill scene where Spielberg holds back on going into the actual battle you just see little snatches of it way more effective than a full on reveal
